I'm looking at a CB-50 and will probably buy it, as it is an awesome playing horn. But I'm wondering about the receiver being a little smaller than one on the G-50 I tried out at a conf. earlier this year. With my large shank mpc on the horn it plays up to pitch with the slide almost all the way in, and I'm thinking maybe a updated receiver transplant may be all the help it needs, as it seems to respond easily pitch-wise to fairly small slide movements. Also wondering if there are any better ways to empty water than taking out 4th & 5th slides. Any Getzen authorities on board? Thanks, Ike
